As a user I absolutely prefer a quickly accessible "turn off bluetooth until X" button to a "turn off bluetooth forever" button. Same with the WiFi.

But the current bluetooth and wi-fi buttons don't turn them off at all. They just disconnect your devices while still broadcasting. They're still using power, updating airtag locations, and serving as a beacon that physical retailers use to identify you and track how you move through the store.

As a user I absolutely prefer freaking "turn off" button for both wifi and bluetooth.
